"Li Qiang, although my husband is dead, he is also a soldier who sacrificed his life for the country." The woman shouted in fear as she watched the man forcing her way over.
"Of course I know, but you also know your current situation. Your father's illness almost cost you the last copper coin in your family. Do you plan to let your son starve with you? Look at this black bread, it looks like a stone.
A woman like you shouldn't be like this." The man shamelessly approached the woman.
"Li Qiang, let me go, or I'll scream!" The woman screamed in fear after the man grabbed her hand.
But the man directly threatened: "Mrs. Nan, if you don't agree, then I don't know if the factory still needs you. If there is no job in the factory, I think..."
"Li Qiang, you are so despicable!" When the woman heard this, she almost burst into tears.
"Despicable? Mrs. Nan, you are mistaken. I am not despicable. I just want to make you feel better. As long as you agree, then I can leave the machine. I only need to be responsible for counting and recording the quantity of goods. You know I have this
The ability and factory belong to my brother-in-law, and I can give you an extra silver coin in salary every month." The man smiled and put forward his conditions.
"Li Qiang, please let me think about it, okay? My child is waiting for me at home!" The lady seemed a little compromised, but she was not willing to give to this man here.
"Mrs. Nan, I can't wait any longer!" Li Qiang rushed forward immediately.
Mrs. Nan subconsciously pushed her away, and he seemed to slip and lose his balance.
When Mrs. Nan saw this, she immediately ran out of the alley with the black bread in her arms. She was about to run out, but was caught from behind again.
"Help!" Mrs. Nan finally shouted.
At this time, Lin Haoming walked into the alley, looked at the man who grabbed the beautiful woman, and sneered.
Li Qiang was a little annoyed when he saw a young man coming to meddle in his own business. When Mrs. Nan saw it, she immediately broke away from Li Qiang's hand and ran out.
Lin Haoming ignored the woman and ran away. He went over and grabbed the man with a smile, and immediately began to search for his soul. After all, the guy in Haili had sneaked across from South Road to Beida Road. We need to know more about the situation on Beida Road.
Lin Haoming soon learned a lot more precise information.
It turns out that the continent that the stowaway thought was called the Northern Continent is actually called the Tianshen Continent. The reason for this name is mainly because of the so-called Tianshen Mountains, and the civilization here seems to have developed from here.
It extends to two southern continents, and those two continents are called Nansha Continent and Nanlin Continent respectively, and the north side is called Arctic Continent.
Now I am in a city called Montenegro. Because the nearby Montenegro produces black iron ore and other ores, this city is called a famous mining city nearby.
Li Qiang is the brother-in-law of the owner of a headwear factory in the city and the supervisor of the factory's workshop.
Headdresses are the main accessories worn by women here, and are subdivided into hair accessories and forehead accessories. Li Qiang's brother-in-law's factory specializes in making hair accessories. The main materials for hair accessories are ebony growing in the Black Mountains and black iron ore.
An accompanying gemstone called ferrite.
Ironite sparkles in the sun and looks very beautiful, but because of its large production, it is not valuable. However, it is very suitable for making mid-to-low-end hair accessories. Most women from civilian families usually wear this kind of hair accessories.
Decorated.
In the entire Celestial Continent, headdresses have a very important meaning for women. For example, the headdresses worn on the forehead can only be worn after getting married, and they are usually worn by women on important ceremonial occasions. However, headdresses are generally valuable, like
Naturally, it is impossible to use a gemstone of the caliber of iron gold stone as a forehead ornament, at least it must be made of real gold and silver.
If you don't wear a forehead ornament, just talking about the headdress, unmarried women will wear it on the left side, and after getting married, they will wear it on the right side. In addition, like the Zhou Empire where Lin Haoming is now, the system of monogamy is implemented, but even if
In the Great Zhou Kingdom, nobles could also take concubines, and in some countries civilians were allowed to take concubines after being reviewed. Concubines must wear headdresses on both sides in formal occasions to show their dual identities.
In addition, some styles and colors of headdresses also have some meanings. For example, the headdress worn by Mrs. Nan just now is white. For a married woman, it means that she has been widowed. For an unmarried girl, it means that she is widowed.
It represents purity, and generally speaking, women must not wear the wrong headgear, otherwise it may violate the law in serious cases.
There are many countries in the entire Tianshen Continent, and there are five or six countries that Li Qiang is familiar with. Among them, there are also some that he is not familiar with and has only heard of their names, which add up to dozens.
The Great Zhou Empire is considered a relatively powerful country in the surrounding area, and it is an ally with the Great Qi Empire further to the north and the Great Chen Empire to the west, and together they deal with the great empire in the east, the Great Wei.
The Wei Empire was much more powerful than these three countries combined, with a huge territory. If it hadn't been for the Nanlin Dalu rebellion decades ago, the Nanlin Empire was established, and it was completely out of the control of the empire, all three countries would have been in danger of being destroyed.
Also to the west of the Dachen Empire, there is the Daqin Empire. The Daqin Empire also faces the rebellion of the Nansha Continent across the sea to the south. Otherwise, if these two empires advance east to west, the three countries in the central and southern Tianshen Mountains may be divided.
There are other countries to the east and west of these two great countries, as well as to the north of the mountains, and the countries are more scattered, but for Li Qiang, he doesn't know much.
According to the propaganda of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, Wei and Qin are three pillars. However, Li Qiang feels that the Three Kingdoms Alliance is definitely not as powerful as those two powers. If divided according to strength, if the total strength of the five countries is ten, each of the Three Kingdoms will
The two countries are all one, and the remaining seven are equally divided between the two countries. It seems that the difference is not big, but they are an integrated country, and here are the three divided countries. They are obviously not opponents, and they are really attacking from both sides. Even if they can be integrated together,
You can't fight one against two.
Of course, this situation has been maintained for several decades now. Since the Nanlin Road rebellion and the establishment of the Nanlin Empire, there have been no major territorial changes among the five countries, so everyone has become at ease, and the two major countries have reconciled.
The war between the two continents has never stopped for more than ten years, and intermarriage between royal families is also very common. Today, the emperors of the five countries are related to each other. For example, the old emperor of the Great Zhou Empire today,
He is the uncle of His Majesty the young emperor of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Of course, the sister of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire was not the queen of the Great Wei Kingdom at that time, but just an ordinary concubine. Therefore, the young emperor also showed some tricks when registering. However, the relationship between his uncle and his nephew is not good now.
Wei was also the country that the Zhou Empire hated the most.
